[ As far as he knows. ]

[ He blinks, surprised all of a sudden. ]
The woman with that strange accent?

[ Him?? ]

He's difficult to predict at the moment, I'd say.

[ Nelson looks at Gil and touches his shouler. ]
Be careful, you don't want to dislocate it.
action!!
It's fine.
What do you mean by alive?
action!!
[ Nelson pulls his own hand back, looking sheepish. ]
I told him about his death.
action!!
... Oh.
action!!
I know it was a mistake, but I-I thought... I didn't think he should find out from anyone else. [ He bites at his thumbnail. ] He was angry with me. I'm sure it's related.
action!!
Out of romantic obligation, he supposes. Nelson did seem to be a man in touch with his emotions.
He thinks about Oz -- unsurprisingly -- and the things he keeps from his master, like Zai's involvement in the Coming of Age ceremony. He could never blame Nelson for what he's trying to do, because Gil's been doing the same ever since he was able to get Oz back from the Abyss. ]
You did what you could.
[ He pauses. ]
I'm sorry about... him.
action!!
[ He sighs again, looking at Gil a little sadly. It is complicated, measuring his feelings of what's "right" versus what's easy; Nelson should have avoided the truth he feels like, if it meant he'd be less miserable right now.
Then again, when it comes to Hooded Justice it's impossible to guarantee something else won't go wrong. Nelson gestures to Gil's face a little idly. ]
I shouldn't even be troubling you with my problems in the first place, here I came by to help and all I'm doing is talking about myself. [ He shakes his head. ] Let me get you some more ice.
action!!
He opens up the freezer to fetch the ice pack again. Most of the swelling has gone down over the past few days, but there's still an ugly discoloration around his nose and near his eyes. ]
Has he done this before?
action!!
I can leave, if it's starting to bother you again. [ His fingers drum against his arm. ] Yes. Something similar. It was the last time I ever saw him, back home.
action!!
If you need help, just remember you can ask.
action!!
I can handle it on my own. Besides, I know you don't like him -- I wouldn't ask you to get involved under those circumstances.
action!!
I never said anything like that!
action!!
Gilbert, I don't take it personally. I could hardly blame you, either. He doesn't particularly make any effort to be liked -- or to like anyone in return.
action!!
Even people with annoying personalities have someone who cares about them. I deal with that idiot clown all the time...
... I'm sorry. I know he's important you.
action!!
[ He just misses him. ]
Don't worry about him. You might not even ever have to see him again.
action!!
action!!
For the last time, Gilbert, you need not worry about me either. No matter what happens, I can handle it. You're the one that's falling down stairs.
